About Luoyang Local Tour
The ancient city of Luoyang, located along the
southern banks of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, is one of
the seven ancient capitals of China. More than 70 rulers of nine
different dynasties kept their capitals here; hence the name
"Capital of Nine Dynasties." In addition to many places of interest,
Luoyang takes pride in its peonies. Every April, the city's Peony
Show attracts numerous visitors from home and abroad. Luoyang is
also famous for its three-colored glazed pottery, bronze ware, and
palace lanterns.
The
Longmen Grottoes were built in the year 494 during the Northern Wei
Dynasty. The Longmen Grottoes are one of China's three leading
treasure houses of grotto art, with over 2,100 grottoes. The
grottoes are located on the southern outskirts of Luoyang, situated
on both banks of the Yi River about 13 kilometers from the downtown.
The two hills face each other with the Yi River flowing in between.
The largest of the grottoes Buddhist sculptures stands 56 feet tall. These caves and the stone sculptures
they contain rank with the caves at Yungang and Dunhuang as the
great remaining masterpieces of Buddhist culture in China.
